The Shoal Creek Trail Plan has launched!

November 8, 2018 | By Shoal Creek Conservancy

This community-developed Plan lays the foundation for implementing major improvements to the existing 3.9-mile Shoal Creek Trail, extending the Trail by nearly 9 miles, and connecting it to the Walnut Creek Trail north of Highway 183. Ultimately, the extended Shoal Creek Trail will become part of a 30-mile continuous “Big Loop” of urban trails traversing the city from Lady Bird Lake to Walnut Creek Metropolitan Park. The Plan is the result of an over one-year long public process in partnership with the Shoal Creek Conservancy, City of Austin Public Works Department and community stakeholders.
